Original subtitles

We all have some debt.

I'm not talking here about money,

but about gratitude...

for the time, attention, sacrifice.

And you can't put a price on that.

That's why, when it's our turn,

we do everything we can to return the favor.

Even if it means agreeing to things...

that we don't want to do, under any circumstances.

THE HERITAGE

It has nothing to do with what I or anybody else wanted,

we're doing what your grandfather wanted.

That's why were here, honey.

Is that why you burned Grandpa?

The term is "cremated", moron.

That's what Grandpa wanted us to do.

And thank God it wasn't me who had to do it to him.

Okay, it's clean, let's go.

The sea, and cigarettes. That is what Grandpa loved the most,

so his ashes being spread into the sea would be like his dream come true.

He also loved busty female tourists.

And of course, you, as well.

Sorry, honey, but don't touch me, please,

or I'll start crying.

-Did you bring their blazers? -Mm-hmm.

Then go make sure that they look alright.

How's it going?

Yes, sunflowers.

Regular yellow sunflowers, not roses.

No. I told you about it four days ago.

The hell do I care where from?

Get 'em from your mother-in-law's garden, if you want.

They need to be in the chapel in half an hour, you got that?

See ya.

So fucking clueless. I'm dealing with idiots.

"Where do I get 'em, then?"

Why the hell do I care where you get 'em from, dude?

So? How's the catch?

We're still weighing 'em, but it's looks pretty good.

And the boat?

This evening, the mechanic will scope out the engine,

-but the chance of repair's thin. -Oh, Jesus.

If we had at least a couple more cutters...

No, no, no, I'm begging you, Turbot. Don't do this today.

Go round up the boys, and we'll meet at the Mass, alright?

-And, um, you have the... -Yeah, black flags, I got 'em.

All right, come on, we're going.

It's fine, it's from our fireplace.

Johnny... is here.

CAPTAIN JAN MRÓZ "JOHNNY"

Will you shut it off for a second?

They need me, so I can't.

That's why you should.

Hania, it's a big moment.

You can't be a funeral consultant for your own father.

You see?

You can do it.

We have Dad's uniform with us?

I left without it.

-Condolences. -Thank you, friend.

Sorry for your loss, man.

Boys, take Grandpa's uniform and go into the church, all right?

Don't start with me today.

Look, I moved him somewhere else for a little bit.

-Where is he? -In the passenger seat.

Does any family member want to say a few words?

My father, or Dad...

didn't talk much.

He hated pointless conversations, couldn't stand talking without a purpose.

So I'm going to try to keep this short, so as not to tire him out.

"Johnny was the first person to be born here, in Hel,

"right after the war was over. He must've told you about that many times.

"And more than anything else in the world,"

"he loved this town, perhaps more than even his..."

"He hated failures. He could never acknowledge them.

"He always went forward, often against the wind.

"He faced it firmly and sternly,"

"without complaining."

"Dad, you have my word that I will do whatever it takes, to make you..."

"Truly proud of me."

Load!

Salute!

Fire!

What's happening over there?

-Hey, where is everybody going? -I don't know.

What's going on?

On the beach.

Excuse me.

The balaenoptera physalus.

One hasn't been found around here in over 50 years.

-Huh? -The fin whale.

I need to get it to the marine station right away.

-Please, don't approach it. -Just walking by.

Move away, please.

Yes, I need the sheriff.

How unreal.

And of course, it's today.

Councilman Paweł Mróz.

It's an urgent matter. Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Of course, I'll hold.

Of all the beaches, of all the other God damn beaches on Hel,

it washes up right here on our side.

Old Jóźwiak spotted it from the lighthouse.

Told me the sea was crying for Johnny to come back.

Great now I'm about to cry.

Food will be ready in 15 minutes, and the band leaves at 4:00.

Please, join us for lunch.

-Help me, we're about to do lunch. -Yeah, I'm going.

You're invited to Cormorant.

Sheriff?

Yeah. Just a second.

Come on, let's go. Please, help me get everyone outta here.

I'm dealing with it, alright? I'm doing what I can.

Ladies and gentlemen, everybody, please excuse me for a moment.

-Everyone. -I'd like to invite all of you

-to come join us... -Please, join us.

-...at Cormorant, for lunch. -Please.

Come for lunch at Cormorant.

Please come with us, we have to get off the beach.

Please join us in honoring Johnny.

-All of you are invited, let's go. -Come join us.

Can join us there, please? Come and...

Can you hear me?

To the point.

As we all know, my dad had a good heart,

and he'd do whatever it took for those he loved.

Though I have to say,

it would've sent him over the edge to see you staring at a random beached whale

instead of picking up a drink at his funeral.

So please, join us at Cormorant.

That's one way of doing it.

You're welcome to come join us.

-Hey, to Johnny! -Cheers.

Ah. Mr. Mayor, here's the herring you ordered,

and the bottle's on the way.

BAR KORMORAN

Give me two bottles.

Anything you need, boss.

Don't call me "boss", Weronika.

Cormorant is Paweł's.

Do you wanna fix it up, or just get rid of it?

-What? -Well, I talked to Mr. Paweł,

and he said this place is for you, not for him.

Johnny didn't really give a shit about the decor, or what it looked like,

but I feel like it could be a pretty cool spot if somebody fixed it up.

But, um, if you wind up selling, just give me a warning beforehand,

'cause I don't know if I should find a new job.

What can I get you?

What the fuck was that all about, huh?

I simply found it a bit disheartening

that people prefer a dead whale to our dead father, that's all.

Is that it? And where the fuck were you when he was alive then, Maciej?

Nothing's changed with you, has it?

You're still the same old selfish prick you've always been.

How're you shaping up?

Still waiting to hear from the national team?

Fuck you, you son of a bitch.

Nobody missed you here.

-So what? -So nothing, you fuck.

You okay? What's going on here?

Nothing, just catching up a little with Uncle Paweł.

My daughter, in case you haven't recognized her yet.

-Uh-huh. -I'm sure you remember Ola.

If not, then you should.

Alright, hurry up.

We're going to an alternative wake.

Maciej, please.

You never answered my emails.

We didn't know you were coming.

Then, surprise.

Ah.

Nostrovia.

We'll see you in a few years, I guess.

Shall we go?

Hey, hey, hey! No running in here.

-Do you have everything? -Mm-hmm. Thanks.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

There was no other way to handle that?

Beers, gentlemen.

He could've come and talked all that shit when Dad was still around.

He has a right to be here.

If he'd spent every day and night sitting with him,

carried him to the bathroom, wiped his ass afterwards,

gave him his prescriptions, whatever, he might have the right to be here.

-Relax. -No, where the hell was he?

Where was he for the last few months?

Where the hell was he for the last few years?

He doesn't give a damn about our father.

And he doesn't care about us.

Maciej came here solely out of his own interest.

To fill out his own pockets. And we both know that.

Anyway, fuck him in the ass with a hot steel rod.

Have some of this.

A drink with the best view you can find.

So what's next?

Next over there is Sweden.

Maciej, I'm asking about your plans.

My plan is to stay here. Just for two days.

And where will you have us sleep?

So yeah, I'm gonna have a look at the whale.

Ola?

Why don't I take a picture of you, huh?

Your followers are gonna love it.

Hey...

Oh, here you are. Very nice of you to find the time.

I'm sorry, honey, but the... She...

The... the fin whale is an amazing creature.

She's the most incredible animal I've ever seen.

Even if she's dead.

And uh, now, time is extremely crucial.

The quicker we collect samples,

the more knowledge she'll be able to give us.

I know you needed my support today.

Listen...

I got by just fine on my own.

He's running for mayor now.

He'll get the resort, and then build the Fisherman House there.

Huh? Yeah. Mm-hmm.

All right. See you.

-Sorry to bug you... -Oh, fuck!

Okay. I've been getting that reaction from everyone today.

-May I borrow your lighter? -Yeah.

How do you and Johnny know each other?

Because you don't look like those shanty lovers.

-From back in the day. Thank you again. -Mm-hmm.

Maciej. Maciej Mróz.

Weronika.

-No way. -Yes.

Wera?

Yeah.

I'm eight and I'm afraid of jellyfish.

Well, I'm 19 now, and I still find them repulsive. So...

There's still more trash to take.

Let's go.

See you around.

Bye.

How did you put up with her father?

I was such a pain in the ass for that old man.

Still a level higher than the reject.

Hard to say for me.

Mom, can we go play on the buoys?

Okay, but not for too long.

How old are your boys now?

Janek will be 14 next year.

And Antek is 10 now.

Wow.

I think you've only met Antek once, right? Just that one time?

-How long are you gonna stay? -For two days.

The question is whether it's enough to get the big boy to lose his shit completely.

Oh, please.

Dad would have wanted us all to be together.

That was wishful thinking.

The point being, everybody should be present.

Yeah.

Or else I wouldn't have been spamming you so much.

Jeez, I don't even have your phone number anymore.

Mmm.

He wanted us to do something for him.

You know, according to the law in Poland,

spreading ashes is illegal.

That's nice. And now you tell me.

Now that he's passed away,

he should be lying next to our mom at last.

Well, he wanted the sea, so that's what he gets.

If you don't like it, you can talk to him.

Yeah, but you put him in a coffee can I mean, what the fuck?

Seriously?

-Oh, Ola? -You're here.

Are you sure you want to join it? Could get a little uncomfortable.

-What? -The boat's gonna rock.

When I moved here, it was pretty hard.

My labyrinth, you know. I'd throw up the moment I'd step on a boat.

-My labyrinth is fine. Thanks. -Come on, be careful.

Wait, wait, wait.

How are you doing up there, Maya?

I'm doing incredible.

Holy fuck.

What is this?

The old man's moonshine.

Where'd you get it?

I made it myself.

We'll stay for a few days and then we'll leave.

Go take a seat so you don't get Grandpa all over you.

My father's house was by the sea

We like to visit him

Baloo,

Went off to the sea and when he came back

Hala, Baloo,

Bala Baloo, Baloo,

His house was cold and empty

There's an empty house by the sea

Baloo,

Baloo, Baloo,

Nobody visits him anymore

Bala, Baloo.

Listen.

I'll be in my study doing the report.

And we need the ministry to give us some more money

if we want to keep going with this well,

Sleep well.

What's up, Turbot?

No. What the fuck?

No, no, no. Look, I I still need another week at least.

Or maybe two weeks max.

Absolutely, I'm going to pay them.

No, no, no. Soon we're gonna have new cutters, coolers, permits.

I mean, come on, people. We'll bounce back from this.

Just two weeks.

Is there any way the three of you can sail out tonight?

Thanks, Turbot.

Son of a bitch!

-It's on now. -Ta-da!

It went out.

It's on... No.

It's still off.

Oh, it's on.

I grabbed it from the package locker for you.

I thought it would help you get out of your little mood

And looking at my ugly mug is supposed to help me feel better?

Paweł, you're going to build that fisherman house

and you're going to be the mayor. Chill out.

You look fucking great over here.

Hmm-mm. Mmm. Mmm.

Mmm.

Hmm.

So was the doggy waiting all day long for his little kitty to crawl to him?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

I'm sorry. I just buried my father this morning.

It's not the best moment.

I really don't want to.

Okay.

You can sleep here because I'm sure you're still pissed at me.

And this inheritance mess...

Yes.

Mm-hmm.

No problem. For Mr. Jan Mróz's last will and testament.

You can go inside now.

I, the lawfully undersigned Jan Mróz

born on July 13 year of 1945 in Hell Putt County, Poland.

I'm expressing my last will and testament

while in a state of conscious and free decision making

and as such, therefore, hereby declare I am to bequeath my entire estate,

consisting of 39.5 acres of land located on the coast,

10 acres of land suitable for and currently in use as a campground,

and the house

to my beloved and lovely granddaughter, Maja Mroz.

-Are you kidding me? -What the fuck.

And to manage the above mentioned assets in trust

due to the age of the aforementioned recipient

until she is to reach the legal age of eligibility for ownership,

I appoint Maja's father Maciej Mróz, my son.

Post script um.

No one is a lonely island.

You are not alone.

Jan Mróz.

How about we have a smoke break outside?

Yeah. We should talk about this, right?

You think?

Paweł, I really had no idea.

Fuck off, asshole. Get the fuck out of here.

Paweł! Paweł

Look.

I thought we already took all of our nets out of here.

Well, that's because we did.

We took three dead seals from here earlier this month.

-There's a net down there. -Make sure you get everything.

We can't leave any nets in the water. Bottom stays clear. Okay.

Okay.

Hello?

Are you sure about that?

POLICE

-Look, the guys are saying that... -What?

-Just tell me. -That the body is headless.
